Installing JRE Plugin 1_4_2_04 xpi on FireFox W2k embargo error

Having Installed FireFox 0.91 on W2k. I have been trying to
Install the latest J2RE (1_4_2_04) plugin by XPI, and I have been getting
an error saying I am in an embargoed country (I am in the UK!). Does
anyone know why I am getting this. Or have Anglo-American relations taken
a turn for the worse.

When I went to download Java I accidentally clicked on the IE .exe version
instead of the XPI, but all is fine after installing it. Give that a go and
see what happens.

Thanks

Had already got it working using the full windows install rather than the
Xpi before I saw your reply. I have notified Sun and am awaiting a
response. I will post back if they have a solution
